The moment Zhong Yi's words fell, everyone who knew about this competition was greatly shocked.

Zhang Wanqing and Liu Na widened their eyes even more, their faces full of disbelief.

After all, they were in the education industry; they had more or less heard of this competition. They simply never expected that Zhong Yi would actually bring his students to livestream this competition.

Although this competition did have a minor group, in previous years most participants were high school students; elementary school students participating was rarely heard of.

After all, elementary school students' knowledge accumulation was still a few years short; elementary students who participated in previous years either failed to pass the preliminaries, and those who did pass the preliminaries were without exception geniuses.

Zhang Wanqing and Liu Na did not believe that the four students of their Wukong Class were all geniuses.

As for the adult group competition that Zhong Yi was participating in, that was even more difficult on top of difficult.

Countless doctoral students couldn't make it to the finals, yet now Zhong Yi, a mere elementary school tutoring teacher, actually wanted to livestream his participation in the competition; one couldn't say this was simply a joke — it just was a joke.

At the same time, Zhong Yi had already changed the livestream room's name to "Livestream Challenge: Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition".

Many people learned of Zhong Yi's livestream content and flooded into the livestream room.

Most of them were local education industry peers; after all, everyone had to keep an eye on a newly emerged competitor in the industry.

Not a single person who entered the livestream room was optimistic about Zhong Yi and the four students; they were all saying Zhong Yi overestimated his abilities.

The bullet comments were full of doubtful and mocking words.

"This teacher is too arrogant, right? He really thinks he can do it?"

"Bringing elementary school students to participate in this kind of competition is simply making a mess of things."

Nan Li's family and Tian Yulan's family were both spending New Year's Day at Nan Jianlong's home. Xia Huanhuan opened her mobile phone and started watching Zhong Yi's livestream.

Nan Jianlong glanced over curiously and said with a smile, "Huanhuan, you like mathematics?"

Xia Huanhuan said proudly, "This is our tutoring class's teacher; he's very amazing."

Xia Junshan and Nan Li heard this and also gathered over, seeing Zhong Yi. Nan Li was very surprised, her eyes widening slightly as she looked at the focused Zhong Yi on the screen, secretly admiring Zhong Yi's courage in her heart.

Tian Yulan was also attracted by the commotion here at this moment, came over and took a look. Her face instantly revealed a disdainful expression; she snorted lightly and said, "Hmph, this Zhong Yi really knows how to stir things up. Daring to participate in such a high-difficulty competition with just a few elementary school students — isn't this blindly making a mess of things? And livestreaming too; I see it's just sensationalism to attract eyeballs. He thinks this can prove his teaching level? Truly laughable."

Nan Li heard Tian Yulan's words, frowned slightly, and said, "Can't put it that way; maybe Zhong Yi wants to give the students a different experience; challenging a bit isn't bad."

Tian Yulan crossed her arms in front of her chest, raised her chin and said, "Experience? What good experience can this have? If they lose too badly, won't that hit the children's confidence? Besides, he's an elementary school tutoring teacher; not properly teaching elementary students those basic knowledge, blindly fussing over these hit-or-miss things, what use can it have? I see he just wants to show off; it's fundamentally not for the children's good."

Nan Li gently shook her head and said, "Don't be so extreme; maybe Zhong Yi has his own thoughts."

Tian Yulan coldly laughed and said, "Thoughts? I see he just overestimates his abilities; just wait and watch him make a fool of himself."

Meanwhile, Song Jie also saw Zhong Yi's livestream. He was originally sitting in the office, boredly flipping through his mobile phone, and unintentionally swiped onto this livestream push.

When he saw clearly that the protagonists of the livestream were Zhong Yi and a few students, he first froze slightly, then a complex expression appeared on his face.

Song Jie had previously been rather wary of Zhong Yi; after all, Zhong Yi's teaching level was indeed a bit higher than his. During the time at Fengfan Primary School, he often felt the pressure Zhong Yi brought. Every time he saw Zhong Yi teaching passionately in class, and the students' fully concentrated appearances, a trace of unease and jealousy would surge in his heart.

However, when he saw that Zhong Yi actually so overestimated his abilities as to challenge the Alibaba Global Mathematics Competition, he first widened his eyes, as if unable to believe what he was seeing.

Then, a burst of loud laughter erupted from his mouth, laughing until he almost lost his breath.

"Hahahaha, Zhong Yi ah Zhong Yi, you really are arrogant and conceited! Who do you think you are? An elementary school tutoring teacher, yet daring to challenge such a high-difficulty competition — truly overestimating your own abilities." Song Jie laughed while shaking his head, his face full of mockery and disdain.

He seemed to have already seen Zhong Yi's bedraggled appearance after failure, his heart filled with schadenfreude. "Hmph, let's see how you turn things around this time."

Song Jie muttered to himself, a proud light flashing in his eyes.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the competition officially began. The livestream staff moved the livestream equipment outside the conference room, letting the audience watch Zhong Yi and them answer questions through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Zhong Yi no longer paid attention to the cynical ridicule inside the livestream room, devoting himself wholeheartedly to the competition. His gaze was focused and resolute, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

The four students also stared tightly at the computer screens, answering questions with full concentration. The conference room was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Liu Na originally wanted to enter the conference room to interrupt the livestream; she really couldn't bear to watch Zhong Yi's such "reckless" behavior. In her view, this livestream was simply a farce; not only would it make Wukong Education a laughingstock for everyone, it might also affect their subsequent enrollment work.

She was frantic with anxiety, feeling she must immediately stop this livestream and salvage some of the situation. However, just as she was about to push open the conference room door, she was stopped by Zhang Wanqing.

Zhang Wanqing frowned slightly, yet her eyes revealed a trace of determination. She said softly, "Liu Na, don't rush for now. I still trust Zhong Yi relatively more; him doing this certainly has his reasons. Let's watch the situation first before speaking."

Liu Na's face was full of anxiety, yet she also couldn't well defy Zhang Wanqing's decision, so she could only helplessly stop her steps, standing outside the conference room, waiting restlessly.

Half an hour later, someone in the livestream room already broke the news that the first perfect score in the preliminaries had appeared.

At this moment, Zhong Yi and the four students were still staring at the computers with focused expressions; the livestream camera couldn't see the few people's computer screens; no one knew how many questions they had done.

The conference room was so quiet only the sound of keyboard tapping and slight breathing could be heard. Zhang Wanqing and Liu Na paced anxiously outside the conference room, glancing at the conference room door from time to time, their hearts full of expectation and worry.
